Republican governors court Jewish donors in Las Vegas

March 30, 2014

Two of the highest-profile Republican governors on Saturday called for more aggressive leadership on America’s challenges abroad, emphasizing their support for Israel as they courted powerful Jewish donors.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, both considering presidential bids, addressed the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual spring gathering at the Sheldon Adelson-owned Venetian resort casino. “We cannot have a world where our friends are unsure of whether we will be with them and our enemies are unsure of whether we will be against them,” Christie said.
